How to Convert Kiloampere to KiloampereKiloampere
1 kA = 1 kA
1 kA = 1 kA
Example: convert 52 kA to kA:
52 kA = 52 x 1 = 52 kA
Kiloampere
Definition: A kiloampere (kA) is a unit of electric current equal to one thousand (10³) amperes. It is a multiple of the base unit, the ampere, in the International System of Units (SI).
History/origin: The ampere is named after French physicist André-Marie Ampère. The kiloampere, as a decimal multiple of the ampere, was derived as a larger unit for measuring very high currents, such as those found in industrial applications or lightning strikes.
Current use: Kiloamperes are used to measure high currents in applications like power transmission, welding, circuit breakers, and lightning protection systems. It is a convenient unit for expressing the magnitude of these large currents.
